Been looking at the .32 Crockett and .36 Shenandoah for a while now but cant decide which to get for small game hunting. Over the last few months I have read a lot of positive post and articles on the Crocket but virtually nothing on the Shenandoah.
I have heard of people using #1 or #0 buck in the Crocket instead of cast/swagged purchased balls. Given the price of the 5lb bags of buck I can see why people would use them instead of buying balls. Is this a common and safe way to shoot the .32?
For the .36 the one thing that keeps my attention is the ability to use conicals for larger game at short ranges. Our state allows the .36 to be used during small game season for squirrel and big game for deer while the .32 is restricted to small game only hunting.
